After the global recovery I crossed

Settling down is naturally a big deal, and when Lin Xingtao made the choice, he couldn't help hesitating for a while.

The lotus leaves here are round and childlike like a car cover. It looks extravagant at first glance. It is a good place to live, but the old turtle has already taken the lead.

The lotus leaves over there are not so green, and there is no green light head, but the area is too small, and there is no one room or living room.

When he was picking a fish, the old turtle suddenly asked him: "Where are you from? The old man has been in this lake for hundreds of years, but he seems to have never seen you."

The other demons immediately told Old Gui that the black carp fell from the bird's beak, but it hit Shilian's petals, and was patted ashore by Shilian's excessive force.

"Oh, come over there...you are from Xiling." Old Gui nodded, "Do you have a name?"

Naturally, the name Lin Xingtao cannot be used, Lin Xingtao said: "Zhao Lue."

The old turtle was thoughtful: "Then you still have brood fish in your hometown?"

"If there is, I will find a way to drive you back—"

The conversation was interrupted by Shilian, who stared at Lin Xingtao, who was silent on the surface but was actually thinking about how to cheat, and spoke for him: "Grandpa Gui, stop talking, he, he has left his hometown, and because of my carelessness, he is going to repay his favor." . . . he is suffering."

Lin Xingtao was taken aback.

As soon as the ten lotus petals were scooped up, Lin Xingtao was pulled under his own lotus leaves, and he said very domineeringly: "Ah Lue, you live here, and you are our local fish in Luoxing Lake. I am strong, and I will cover you." , there will never be a bird to pick you up!"

"As you said, my strength is also very useful."

The surrounding monsters laughed.

The old turtle thought it was okay, and after carefully looking at Lin Xingtao, he swam back to another place with a smile on his face.

The other demons also left slowly.

The lake suddenly became quiet.

Lin Xingtao was not in pain, he pushed up the lotus leaves covering his fish head, but he keenly felt that it was Shi Lian himself who was suffering.

Shilian seems to always feel that she caused Lin Xingtao's karma.

Lin Xingtao couldn't see a girl—the female lotus like this, he touched the stem of the flower, and whispered to Shilian: "Actually, I wasn't feeling bad just now, I was thinking whether to tell you about my life experience."

"Stop talking, your fish must be killed by birds..."

Lin Xingtao slapped her hard.

"Didn't you... was killed by that big bird?"

"I'm a demon, is that bird so powerful! What I want to tell you is that I'm actually the reincarnation of a great demon, otherwise how could I use such a powerful demon technique?"

Shilian was surprised: "Really? No, don't lie to me!"

"It's not human to lie to you."

"You are not a human being. Even though I am a lotus flower, I also know that among you fish demons, koi are different!

"Other fish can become great monsters, but koi have a chance to become a dragon because of their dragon nature. Which carp is willing to give up the dragon nature and not want to become a dragon? Even many great monsters want to transform into dragons.

Lin Xingtao immediately remembered this point in his heart, but he couldn't hide it, so he had to say: "I'm not human, so I'm lying to you. Well, let me tell you, I'm actually the reincarnation of a real dragon."

Shilian laughed so that the petals trembled.

"Don't you believe it? Don't touch my back, you can't be disrespectful to me, just like you were on the shore before, I'm called Longyou Shoal being played by lotus, you have to apologize!"

"Hahaha, you can talk big! I am the reincarnation of a phoenix. Wait a minute, I am ordering that big bird that once held a dragon to come over to the drowning lake!"

"Are you an old native fish who has devoted himself to cultivation and is smart but has little knowledge?"

Lin Xingtao thought to himself, alas, the truth is unbelievable.

However, the real dragon is held in the mouth of a bird, which does not look like a dragon.

However, is the dragon's face brightened by being ridiculed by a little lotus?

Lin Xingtao just wanted to pretend to be angry, but Shi Lian stopped laughing, bent down the rhizome, and covered Lin Xingtao from the scorching sun, and at the same time said in detail: "Although I don't like dancing, I will definitely learn it and take you to the Dragon Palace Yes, the Dragon King must have great power to resolve your cause and effect."

The wind blowing from among the lotus leaves was warm, Lin Xingtao turned over, did not agree, and asked about other things instead.

Shilian told him that the lake they were in was called Luoxing Lake, which belonged to Heihe, and Heihe was a branch of Luojiang.

The Dragon King is the Dragon King of Luojiang, and the river god mentioned by humans is the river god of Heihe.

However, people generally call the river god Sui Jun.

She explained to Lin Xingtao, an old-fashioned fish who has never stepped forward, that generally speaking, the sea is greater than the river, the river is greater than the river, and the river is greater than the lake.

——The river has a dragon king, but the river has no.

Lin Xingtao also thought of changing Luoshui River to Luojiang, so that Bai Jiao could be named Dragon King.

Immortals and demons in this world are different.Immortal is the realm of human cultivation, no other race can become immortal.

Gods are dead but virtuous people and non-living creatures, and demons can also be gods.God is equivalent to a job, either born or granted.

But since the decline of the human race, even the emperors of the human race have been unable to confer gods. Now the gods are mostly conferred by the Dragon King and the Lord of Mount Tai.

The river god of Heihe is a demon, who was conferred by the Dragon King and respected by all the demons in Luoxing Lake as the Lord of Water.

Although the dragon is not a monster, but because it is the king of beasts on land and also the god of water and land, it has a special status among monsters and is respected.

A natural dragon god, even the demon king has to serve him, but there is no natural dragon god today, and the dragon kings in Luojiang are all transformed from white jiao.

"Our demon clan does not have a demon emperor, but what if the human race has immortals! They are rejected by heaven!"

Lin Xingtao wanted to carefully ask why the human race was rejected by the Dao of Heaven, but Shi Lian immediately asked, "Do you know why our lake is called Luoxing Lake?"

"You are blessed, the dance of sisters and sisters is for the Dragon King."

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustle in the lake.

At this time, it was dark.

All the lotus leaves are lifted up, sideways or standing, and the shape is full like a round mirror, reflecting the faint starlight in the sky.

A quiet purple light descended from the demon sea, like a layer of veil slowly falling down.

The light gauze envelops the bright starlight in the lake - due to the background of the lotus leaves and water droplets, if there are stars slowly floating out of the lake.

There are flowers holding a mirror and shaking slowly, while there is a bright moon in the water, and there are bright stars in the water.

"That black carp, you can watch it! The dancing posture of our Luoxing Lake lotus!"

The fields of lotus leaves are shining brightly.

A lotus flower said: "Only our Luoxing Lake can transform the power of the stars in the sky into an array, helping us to temporarily change form!"

A dozen or so beauties came out of the bath, their eyes slightly lowered, and their fingers twirling the stars lightly.

Hold up the moist fragrance with the tender and beautiful breasts like petals, sway the dreamy purple mist with the skirt like lotus leaves, and shake the stars falling in the lake with the arms like white lotus root.

The slender legs swayed a few times between the skirts, as if they had been swayed several times in spring and autumn.

Flocks of small fish that are not demons slipped under the skirts of the beauties, and the fish scales cut the starlight into pieces and fell on the skirts of the beauties.

The stars are dotted, and the silky light holds Qiong's wrist.

Inside the pink shell, there is a snow-white beauty with an enchanting figure, kneeling on the soft shell to seduce slowly.

The light and beautiful laughter swayed in the summer wind.

However, the beauty of the lotus girl is not as enchanting and seductive as the beau girl. She has the fairy air of the breeze and bright moon, and she looks like a moon surrounded by stars.

"Aren't you going to dance in disguise?" Lin Xingtao, who was admiring the beautiful dance, asked Shi Lian, who was motionless above his head.

Shi Lian muttered: "I'm not very good at it yet, so I won't lose face."

At this time, a lotus flower suddenly smiled and looked into the distance: "I heard that everyone in the world loves peony. Even if the empress of the human race ordered all the flowers to bloom in the king's capital, she would specially order it for peony! Everyone said that the empress was afraid that peony would not resist the decree. Respect!"

"Nowadays, the emperor of the human race does not respect the gods, but still loves peony!"

All the lotus flowers shouted together: "What is the difference between the lotus and the peony?!"

When Lin Xingtao heard this, he remembered the story he told Qingqing about Wu Zetian demoting Peony to Luoyang.

I also remembered that Qingqing set off fireworks when she was not an empress, making all the flowers bloom.

[The princess has orders!The spring rain has come, and the flowers are blooming! ]

It turned out that she had specially ordered for Peony.

Lin Xingtao chuckled and swam out from under the lotus.

"It's not bad," he said.

A little bit of starlight shines on him.

In the purple mist, a black-haired boy can be seen faintly.

The boy is barefoot, holding a lotus flower, and his skin is white and glowing.

He thought for a while, and said softly: "I once heard a song about lotus in the human race."

The lotus girls looked sideways.

Therefore, he played a song and said: "Flowers of plants and trees on land and water are very lovely."

"People in the world love peonies very much, but I only love lotuses that emerge from the mud without being stained, and are clean and not demonic."

The lotus girl stopped dancing, and was surprised to see the leisurely and unrestrained smile on the young man's face.

"The center is straight and the outside is straight, no vines or branches, the fragrance is far and clear, and the pavilion is clean!"

The lotus girl hid her face in joy, stepped on the waves beside the young man, and danced to the singing.

"It's like a peony—"

"It can be seen from a distance but not played with!"

Amidst the laughter, the lotus girl was indifferent to the young man, sometimes she smiled and tapped her fingertips, and sometimes she was ten miles across the lake with her colorful clothes trailing waves.

With red makeup, turning green cover, the shadow of flowers is dark in Nanpu.

Fang's face frowns lightly, Lingbo takes small steps, and the wave surface is clear and glowing!

As the starlight faded away, Lin Xingtao laughed loudly, turned into a black carp again, passed through layers of petals, and jumped into the lake.

Lin Xingtao smiled and said to the dazed Shilian: "Then don't do things you don't like! Of course I have a way to go to Dragon Palace by myself!"

He turned to the lotus girls and asked, "Maybe the dance music just caught the eyes of the Dragon King?"

All the lotus girls sighed with joy: "The dragon's heart must be happy."

Some lotus petals were dyed a thin crimson, and whispered softly: "The first emperor of the human race is already extremely handsome, but in the eyes of us and other monster races, it is not as good as Ah Lue's singing and laughing just now."

In the distance, there was a burst of applause.

It seemed that someone stood on the shore and watched the whole process with many attendants behind him.

The visitor also sighed and said: "The music and dance in the sky, how many times can people hear and see it in the world, don't you think so?"

The servant answered yes.

"That black carp, come here and let me have a look!"

Liannu followed the prestige and exclaimed that Lord Shui came.

"Chu Kaiyuan Guangji":

In the 15th year of Kaiyuan, Xia.The emperor stood beside the Taiye pool, watched the flowers in the pool, and asked with a smile, "How about Aiqing writing poems with lotus?" The smile gradually disappeared, and he reprimanded: "Is this what you Chen Kele did?" The general replied: "I, Chen Kele, certainly did not do it." After a while, the emperor was a little quiet.The general said: "It was not made by the first emperor." The emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

In the ten years of God Blessing, a historian said: "General Chen borrowed other poems instead of literature. It is not surprising. His son's name Wenxuan is probably due to this. But there is no way to test who wrote this poem. Only General Chen said ——My master tasted that this poem was written by a person surnamed Yang. There is also a poem about plum blossoms, "When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she will laugh in the bushes", and I don't know who wrote it."

The author has something to say: Lin Xingtao: I almost sang that I am like a fish in your lotus pond~

The poems are partly adapted from "Zhu Yingtai Near Lotus Flower" and "Ai Lian Shuo".

Classical Chinese translation:

Empress Lin Qingqing watched the lotus and asked Chen Kele: "Can you write a poem about lotus?" At that time, General Chen replied: "The lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus is red in the sun." The empress angrily reprimanded: "Is this Did you, Chen Kele, do it!" The general replied, "Of course I, Chen Kele, didn't do it." After a while, the empress calmed down.Chen Kele said: "But it wasn't made by the first emperor." Qingqing was angry and left.

The historian said: "General Chen is not a civil servant, so he can't blame the emperor for answering the emperor with other people's poems. His son was later named Wenxuan, which may be the reason why he can't write poems. It is impossible to find out who wrote this poem. Only General Chen said—his teacher said it was written by a man named Yang. And the poems about plums that have been handed down don’t know who wrote them.”
